FastStone MaxView Mini-Review

Perry Mowbray:
I just downloaded this program.  It is much faster than the windows default viewer.  Is there anyway that I setup Thunderbird as my mail client instead of Outlook?  The software defaults to Outlook and I added Thunderbird as an external program but that didn't help either.

Probably a dumb question, but you have set up the default email client correctly? The following works for me...

I feel dumb... You're right, that works. (unfortunatelly, opera won't accept it, though, but no problem :)).

Ok, so i just found out another interesting thing!
I mentioned about moving the image when out of full-screen: that can be done with right-button drag! smart :D

what I miss in most viewers is the option to zoom into a selected area of image

Oh, but MaxView won't let you down on that! Try pressing ctrl and dragging with left button! :D

Perry Mowbray:
what I miss straight away in Faststone (compared to imagine) is that it wont go from last file in folder back to first ("Jump to the first file?" box pops up)

Hmmm: I don't get that happening? I can keep scrolling through all the folder's images continuously going from last back to first, etc.

Try the "Repeat Continuously" toggle. I couldn't find any documentation, but that seems to do the trick:

I agree! In this day and age, it all should be configurable...

IrfanView zooms like this and it is very handy to get to a particular spot at a high zoom quickly.

I like the pan in MaxView though...

 :-[ No, I meant my question was probably dumb... but glad it works. [Opera won't work with a standard OS setting??]
